New Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) and New Currency Transaction
Report (CTR) Now Available for E-Filing (3/29/2012)

Updated E-Filing Specifications Issued for SAR, CTR

New DOEP E-Filing Specifications and DOEP Report also available

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network's (FinCEN's) new SAR and CTR reports are now being accepted through the electronic filing (E-Filing) system. The BSA E-Filing System will continue to accept submissions of the legacy reports until March 31, 2013. Until then, financial institutions may choose to electronically file either the legacy or new reports, or any combination thereof. FinCEN today is issuing guidance intended to assist institutions filing the new reports.

These actions further FinCEN's continued transition away from paper filings to a more modern and efficient system for both the government and the industry. The FinCEN BSA E-Filing User Test System Web site has also been updated to allow for testing of all the reports now available for E-Filing.
